Comical story

It was Andy Pancio's (Emily's Brother) birthday last week and Emily and I ordered him a web cam from Best Buy and had it shipped to his apartment in Dallas. A few days later it had not shown up and we tracked it and UPS was showing that it was signed for. The signature read Gay. So, someone had signed "Gay' for Andy's birthday gift, and took off. Emily was just little peeved off. Upset that UPS would actually just give a package that had to be signed for to a random person and let them sign "Gay."

Emily spend 45 minutes on the phone with Best Buy, and Best Buy was calling UPS to figure out what happened. In the end Best Buy re shipped the web cam and they called and blasted UPS. This time in order for the UPS driver to be able to leave the package, they had to show a picture ID and sign their full name.

Andy calls on Friday night, he had went up to the front desk to tell the office manager that she would have to show an ID and sign for this package since last time it was taken and some idiot signed "Gay."
The office manager's name: Barbara Gay. True story

Keep on Keeping on

Update on life and the police updates

A lot has happened since last time I posted, but I will first address all the Police updates I have been posting on Twitter and Facebook.

To start, everyone is okay, didn't mean to scare anyone, some of you have known what was going on from day one, so those were for you. Currently, since this situation is currently ongoing, I can not publicly go into deal about what all is going on, but am more than happy to answer questions away from this blog. It deals with our Planet Cash store and our past manager. The hardest thing to deal with is the total blow up in our face with trust. When you have someone that you consider a good friend: just beyond an employee, someone who was at your wedding, you had invited into your home, met his kids, mother, etc, and they do something like this, it hurts. It really makes you look around and be thankful of the friends and family hat I do have, that I do trust. And people that I don't know that well, I am much more cautious now.

So, this situation has changed a lot of things in our lives. We will be holding onto Planet Cash now, which is not necessarily a horrible deal, just a huge change of thought. We had spent the past year planning on and working on the sale. We did not really advertise for the business any more, and slowly got in the mind set that Planet Cash would be gone. So, now we are baring down and figuring out what do to next. I have a full time job now, which places Justin in the store, for a while at least. We have an awesome manager (heard those words before huh)? that can run the store without much interaction from Justin or myself.

But I believe that everything happens for a reason. When God closes a door, he opens a window. I trust in him that everything will work out, doesn't always make things easy, but it will all be okay!

So, Emily and I regroup with our house projects. We had some projects lined up once Planet Cash did sell, but now we head a different route.
Fill N Thrill is doing good. It is very nice to be apart of a company that I believe in so much and really enjoy what I do.

Click here to see our You Tube page so you can see some of our commercials that I produce. Watch some of them, and then leave a comment with your thoughts. That is about 1/2 of my job, the other 1/2 is spend working with current customers, making them happy and then networking and marketing the company. Seems like I am in lots of lunch and happy hour meetings, but much better than an office meeting. I look forward to getting work done; couldn't be happier right now.

Emily is back in the flow of school, and staying busier than ever. She has a good class, and she feels much more confortable in the classroom starting her second year. I have ran into a few parents on the soccer fields whose child had Mrs. Tyler as their teacher last year, and they rant about how much they loved her. I am real proud of her!

That is my update, shoot me an email and I can fill you in more about the Planet Cash situation if you would like. Other wise; keep on keeping on! Mrrrr.
